Many travelers enjoy spending a portion of their vacation shopping.  This is even more true of Grand Cayman visitors than it is of visitors traveling to other parts of the world.  What makes Grand Cayman such a popular shopping destination?  It could be the fact that many stores are located close to one another, so shopping is convenient.  Or it could be the fact that the local handicrafts of Grand Cayman are high in quality and fashionable in style. But it probably has a lot to do with the fact that shopping in Grand Cayman is duty-free, which means that visitors can pick up expensive and name-brand items at a price much lower than the price at which they could obtain the same items back at home.

Some of the local stores that visitors may want to make sure to check out include:
